Establish a republic in Beitenyu, conduct some religious RP that I think has been lacking and perhaps work on some economics for the northern part of Majatra.
This explanation is rather vague, and I notice you have not even given your party a name or filled in its description. For the sake of transparency, would it be okay to ask for some more information regarding your plans for this second account?
Moderation will make decisions about second accounts and will make whatever enquiries we need to help us make that decision. We do not need other players to ask questions of this kind in this thread.
I am disappointed by James's officious and abrasive response to me above.
It is already known there have been problems recently with Auditorii's RPing, particularly in relation to his godmodding with the Northern Council and combining the RP of two nations he already controls, Dorvik and Ostland, in a controversial attempt to bolster the military rankings of both. These problems, and some others, were raised here, by the way, but never received the courtesy of a proper Moderation response, or even the basic courtesy of an acknowledgement from Auditorii himself.
I have previously raised concerns re: Auditorii and second accounts only a little over a week ago when he applied for a second account in Hulstria. On that occasion, James responded normally/appropriately, acknowledging my post and promising to discuss the issues with Vesica. This makes it all the more surprising to me that when I raised my concerns today about his application for Beiteynu, he told me that only Moderators are allowed to ask questions about second account applications. This is not something stated in the rules, and as I say, this was not mentioned to me on the earlier occasion when I raised an issue.
The question I asked, simply requesting information about Auditorii's plans for his second account request, was perfectly laudable, given how obviously vague his explanation was, and also given his proposed second account does not include either a proper party name or a party description. Other players applying on that thread have been asked exactly the same question (often by Auditorii himself), and indeed have had their second account requests delayed until they have provided a satisfactory outline of their plans (again, often by Auditorii himself). Given the clear concerns regarding Auditorii, and also given Beiteynu is in the same region of the game map as Malivia, where I play, I do feel it was legitimate for me to ask the question I did.
It is also noteworthy that before he became a Moderator, James himself has raised questions in relation to second accounts, and in particular, in relation to player-Moderators and second accounts. See, for example, here, here and here. In relation to those posts, I would meekly suggest the "challenge" I made earlier today, in simply asking for more information about Auditorii's plans for Beiteynu, was in itself relatively innocuous.
My question, then, is why does it appear that in the 2-3 months before James became a Moderator, it was okay for player-Moderators to be challenged about second account issues, but that since he has become a Moderator, it is now apparently no longer possible to do so?
